For this limited edition of Hedonism, Compass Box reimagines its iconic whisky, one of the few 100% Scottish grain whiskies. In homage to the classic version of Hedonism, the first whisky created by John Glaser in 2000, this bottling brings together the last stocks of Compass Box grain whiskies distilled in the 1990s. They have been aged almost exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels, offering a profusion of buttery, sweet, and rich notes. These characteristics, unique to two old grain whiskies, are enhanced by the aging process, enriched with hints of vanilla and caramel. Compass Box continues its quest for tasting pleasure by masterfully marrying distillates and high-quality barrels.
Nose: Hints of gentle honey, vanilla, and caramel delicately unfold.
Palate: Tasting reveals flavors of toffee, popcorn, and cream.
Finish: A lingering finish reveals notes of coconut cream, orange zest, and butter caramel.
LE NEGOCIANT
Compass Box is unique in the world of whisky. Founded in 2000, it is a small independent company specializing in the blending of whiskies sourced from major distilleries. Blending has become Compass Box's specialty, making them masters in the field: blended malt, blended grain, blended whisky—all represented in their portfolio. It's also a house with a genuine philosophy: believing that blending is a worthy and noble craft, they seek to separate it from its industrial image and revalue it as artisanal work.
